Chapter 358 Fingernails in the Box
When Lin Jue came out of the elevator, he reluctantly turned off the live stream. Even after splitting the revenue with the platform, he would still earn more than 100,000 yuan from this live stream, which was practically free money.
As soon as Captain Wang arrived at the lobby, he hid to the side to make a phone call. Lin Jue searched for Qi Lin's figure in the hotel, but did not see him. It made sense, as Qi Lin had completely offended the hotel owner and would definitely not stay in this place of trouble.
When no one was around, Lin Jue's backpack moved, and He Wen's voice rang out.
"That spider we just saw was of the same kind as us."
Same category?
That spider we just saw was also a Child of the Mist!?
Lin Jue was stunned. When he realized what had happened, his heart was bleeding. That was a fifth-tier Child of the Mist! How could he have let him escape?!
If I could acquire the fifth-tier Child of the Mist, I would accept even if the script collapsed.
Moreover, that ghost doesn't eat people and isn't aggressive, so it must be the kind of creature that's very easy to communicate with. Lin Jue believes that with his sincerity and kindness, he can definitely move the other party and make them willingly do things for him.
Seeing that Captain Wang was still on the phone and no one around was paying attention to him, he secretly slipped out of the hotel. The dark streets were deserted and there was not a single person in sight. He walked directly to the spot where the ghost had jumped down. There were still some spider webs left on the ground, which stretched for several meters.
"Look in this direction," Lin Jue said, looking in the direction of the spider silk. Not far from where the spider silk extended was the new building that the hotel was currently constructing.
"Could that guy have hidden in the construction site?"
Lin Jue narrowed his eyes. He was just about to go to the construction site to see what the workers had been burying. If the ghost had hidden inside, it would be a win-win situation.
"Bi Zheng, He Wen, if you were to fight that spider monster later, are you confident you could defeat it?"
He spread his hands, and the flames instantly burned all the spider silk to ashes. At the same time, he asked Bi Zheng and He Wen in the backpack.
"What do you think?" He Wen asked in return.
“The A-rank Child of the Mist already possesses a portion of extremely evil power. It would be difficult for the two of us to deal with him alone. If we add A Jin, it would be hard to say, since A Jin’s abilities are somewhat special.” Bi Zheng’s attitude was much better than He Wen’s. He explained very patiently and added at the end, “However, if we add your flames, we might have a chance to win.”
"That's fine then." Lin Jue stood up and walked directly towards the construction site.
He found a slightly damaged fence at a construction site, carefully lifted the sheet metal on the fence, bent down, and crawled inside.
There was no light at all on the construction site. For some reason, Lin Jue felt very uncomfortable as soon as he stepped into the site. He wondered if it was because he had heard about feng shui layouts before.
"Feng shui and the reverse Bagua are things that are outside my knowledge, but the old man might know about them."
As Lin Jue stealthily moved forward, he pondered. He planned to find a great view from the hotel later to take pictures of the two buildings and send them to the old man.
The old man somehow got hold of a phone and added the other person as a friend after the live stream ended. That guy had practiced Buddhism in a temple and was an expert in this field.
"It's probably around this location..."
A few minutes later, Lin Jue stopped next to a foundation pit. This was roughly the place he had seen earlier. After finding a shovel that the workers had left in a wooden box nearby, he began to dig.
After digging about 70 or 80 centimeters, a black box emerged from the mound of earth.
The box was just an ordinary wooden box, light as a feather, and seemed almost empty. As the box was opened, Lin Jue's expression turned to surprise. He had expected it to contain some strange and unusual things, but he hadn't anticipated something so bizarre.
The box contained pieces of fingernails; judging from their shape and size, they were human toenails.
toenail……
Lin Jue thought of the spider ghost's four pairs of feet without nails. Could the nails in this box be those of that ghost?
He counted the number of fingernails in the box; there were exactly 40, which corresponded to the spider's four pairs of legs.
Is this really his?
But why tear off your nails, put them in a box, and bury them? What is the reason for doing this?
Also, these two buildings were renovated by the hotel owner, but the fingernails came from that ghost. Do they know each other?
Lin Jue recalled the strange expression on the hotel owner's face when he and Tie Ning's team were about to go upstairs. At the time, he thought the owner was worried that the hotel would have to close down after they went upstairs, but now it seemed that the owner might be worried that the spider would be exposed to everyone.
"Could it be that the boss is raising a ghost?" Lin Jue took a picture of his fingernails with his phone, then buried the box back in. This matter should not be within the scope of the script.
Where is that ghost now?
He turned his head and looked around. The dark construction site was full of pits and mounds of earth, as if something might be hidden anywhere.
"It should be in that building."
He Wen spoke from inside her backpack, directing Lin Jue to look towards the newly renovated building.
There might be some strange connection between the Children of the Mist; Bi Zheng had also gone to the amusement park to look for Sun Jiankang back then.
Upon hearing He Wen's words, Lin Jue did not hesitate and headed straight for the building: "Can you sense which floor he is on?"
"I'm not sure, it's very faint, it must be from a very high floor."
Lin Jue traversed ten floors in a row. Because only the structure of the building had been completed and the secondary masonry work inside had not yet begun, the view was basically unobstructed, and he could see the entire floor from any angle.
When he reached the eleventh floor, he slowly stopped. Black energy surged in his eyes, and in that dense sea of black energy, a humanoid spider was hanging upside down from the ceiling, its scarlet compound eyes staring at him.
There was no ferocity, no hatred, only a very complex emotion, as if he had seen one of his own kind.
"You sensed it too? The aura of our own kind." Lin Jue took a deep breath, his expression gentle. "I can let you see them."
As he spoke, he released He Wen and Bi Zheng. The two monsters bared their teeth as soon as they appeared, like wild cats whose territory had been invaded.
"You two, be gentle with it." Lin Jue hurriedly dragged the two ghosts behind him, afraid that they would scare the spider away again.
Lin Jue approached the spider ghost step by step, his voice soft: "It's not just them, there are many of your kind in my family, they are all my family, my friends."
“They all call me their confidant brother because I’m willing to listen to their pain and regrets. I wonder if you can tell me why you’ve become like this?”
Lin Jue stopped three steps away from the Spider Demon, a very safe distance. This not only prevented the Spider Demon from feeling offended, but also gave him time to react should the Spider Demon suddenly attack. (End of Chapter)
